As Paige settled in to a busy schedule, we let the posts rest, but we forgot to tell anyone.  A week has now passed with good progress, and Paige has remained remarkably active with therapy, tutoring, and doctors' appointments.

On Thursday, Paige was up very early for the drive to her first school day at Kent.  She was thrilled to be back at school, and she was greeted with enthusiasm by many members of the community.

That evening, Paige met the neurosurgeon who treated her at Stamford Hospital. She did not remember him, but he clearly remembered her. He reviewed with her the images taken of her injuries when she arrived at the hospital. They show in detail her numerous fractures and the many areas of her brain injury. He also recalled for her some of the moments in her fiery recovery and the support that surrounded her while she was not conscious.

The good news is that she should continue to recover with time, and that she could be out of her neck collar within a week.

On Saturday, Paige again returned to Kent for a day. She made an emotional appearance before her swim team when she thanked her coaches for pushing her to pursue the superb conditioning that may well have helped save her life.  

We will post weekly updates on Paige's progress for the time being. Thank you again for all your love and support, faith and prayers.

  3. Dear Paige,

    Seeing you at CVS today was such a treat. You look amazing. Good thing your lymph nodes aren't as big as Lauras. I am so happy you have made such a fantastic recovery. You are an incredible young woman.
